Ghoultown

Rare and Unreleased

(Wreckin' Bones Records / Black Angel Promotions)

Ghoultown's thunderous Tales of the Crypt transmogrification of Zane Grey's slap-leather milieu has never assumed deserved position in chart highlands, illustrating again Legs McNeil's dictum that cool music seldom enjoys mass popularity. In the group's darkside rowdiness, guitars gallop and ascendant trumpet strains resound. They collude with poundings-times-ten, lending animation against which spectral host Count Lyle's dead-man's drawl etches jaggedly. Lurking here are demo and in-concert tracks from 1999 - 2008, as well as the 2012 Killer In Texas EP - long unavailable.

Recommended:"Ballad of Clarence Heckles,"  "Skeleton Cowboys," "Southern Witch," "After 2," "Killin's a Bitch," "Fistful of Demons," "Wicked Man," "Ten Seconds To Blood," "Death of Jonah Hex" (Alt.), "Killer In Texas," "Bury the Hatchet"
